Organized by the Society for Modeling and Simulation International
Co-Sponsored by ACM SIGSIM (pending)


Come to Ottawa, Canada for SCSC 2010 to the 42nd edition of this leading
conference in the field of Modeling and Simulation. SCSC'10 is focused on
basic and applied research in Modeling and Simulation, a critical area for
supporting Research and Development as well as competitiveness worldwide.
SCSC provides an International Forum for presenting the State of the Art to
the International Simulation Community as well as the Effectiveness of
Simulation Experiences in World Businesses. The purpose of the conference
is to provide a forum for academic researchers, governmental and industrial
investigators and practitioners to exchange ideas and discuss developments
in this growing field.

SCSC 2010 features varied tutorials, tracks and workshops. The conference

applications, providing a forum the latest R&D results in academia and
industry.

In parallel with technical presentations, companies and research groups will
be exhibiting their most advanced products.

All submissions will be reviewed based on the draft full paper and/or
extended abstract. The best contributed paper will be given a Best Paper
Award. A selected group of full papers will be invited for a Special Issue
Proposal of the Simulation Journal (SCS). All papers will be published
in the ACM Digital Library.

  1. The term "co-sponsored by ACM SIGSIM (pending)" needs to be used if you are still under review regarding the your peer review process, but you made the hurdle to be considered for sponsorship. To address such a conference as "crappy" is not really professional and shows that the blogger is uninformed. Our collaboration with ACM is good, and SCS and ACM SIGSIM officers are well connected. You may want to check your background informants.
